According to him, the union suspended the strike following the intervention of the Ministers of Labour and Productivity as well as that of Petroleum Resources.

The union embarked on the strike to protest the sacking of some employees of NECONDE Oil Limited.

The PENGASSAN spokesman said that the management of NECONDE oil Limited and its legal consultants have offered a letter of recall to the sacked employees of the company.

Obi said that the company’s management also agreed to allow the union to exist in the company.

According to him, the Minister of Labour and the union also agreed to resolve anti-union posture by other indigenous companies and marginal field operators.

Obi said that both parties would meet in the second week of January 2018 to look at the issues.

Also speaking, the National President of PENGASSAN, Francis Johnson, said the suspension was done in the spirit of the forthcoming yuletide season.

“In the spirit of the yuletide, on behalf of the National Executive Council, NEC, of PENGASSAN, the Central Working Committee, CWC, hereby suspends the nationwide strike with immediate effect and all members are to resume normal duties immediately,” Mr. Johnson said late on Monday.

Neconde had on October 5 terminated the appointment of Babatunde Animashaun, a Gas Petroleum Engineer and Chairman of the oil company’s Chapter of PENGASSAN.

Apart from Mr. Animashaun’s sack, the management of the company was said to have engaged in activities the oil workers said were aimed at stifling unionism in Neconde.

Jesse Lingard is pleased to be playing in a more central role for Manchester United and wants to make more contributions.

The England international forward has been used in a wide role since breaking into the squad at Old Trafford.

However, he has played in a more central role this season, due to the absence of players and Lingard feels suited to a role that lets him score.

“Obviously playing further forward you are going to get more goals and create chances also, so to play there with Romelu [Lukaku] means we are getting that understanding now and chipping in [with goals] together,” he told reporters.

“I played there when I was younger and, when I got into the reserves, I played more on the left or the right for my development, but eventually moved inside again.

“I think playing centrally you get on the ball a lot more and you can make things happen more and you can obviously play closer to the main striker and feed off him.

“I’m hungry for more goals and any way I can help the team – assists, goals – and to win the game is the most important thing.”

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has hit out at the “absurd” decision for VAR technology to be overlooked in La Liga after his side were denied what appeared to be a legitimate goal against Deportivo La Coruna.

Striker Luis Suarez had a strike ruled out late in the first half of Sunday’s match at Camp Nou, which the Catalan giants went on to comfortably win 4-0.

Barca boss Valverde has questioned why video assistant referees have yet to be introduced in the Spanish top flight, however, with La Liga also the only major European league yet to roll out goal-line technology.

“I didn’t see it, but with the help of technology, you’ll know if the ball has gone in or not, regardless of whether the VAR is used or not,” he told reporters when asked about the disallowed Suarez goal.

“I don’t know why it is not used in La Liga. The equipment must be very expensive, but it’s absurd that we don’t have it. We’re late and it shows.”

Javier Mascherano who first move to the Camp Nou from Liverpool in 2010, will move to China after an agreement was reached between Hebei Fortune, who are managed by former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini, and Barcelona.

“Javier Mascherano is a new player of China’s Hebei Fortune,” Fernando Czyz, a journalist based in Buenos Aires, confirmed on Twitter.

“There was an agreement with Barcelona and his buyer and the Argentinian… leaves behind one of the best clubs in the world.”

Barca are reportedly in the market for a replacement and are looking at Palmeiras midfielder Yerry Mina for about £10.5m.

Mascherano made his decision to leave Barcelona before Samuel Umtiti sustained an injury and even though Barca wanted the veteran to reconsider his decision, Mascherano is heading to Asia.

Antonio Conte has insisted that he intends to remain at Stamford Bridge for the long term, amid fresh rumours that he intends to quit next summer.

Antonio Conte has continually been tipped to return to Italian football with AC Milan, while Chelsea are rumoured to have already contacted former boss Carlo Ancelotti over the position should it become vacant.

Speaking after Chelsea’s’ 1-0 win over Southampton at the weekend, though, Conte claimed that the uncertainty being created in the press is possibly affecting his players.

“Every day there is speculation about my future,” he told reporters. “It’s not right because I think I deserve a bit of respect for what I did last season, for what I am doing this season.

“To read every week: ‘Next season the club contacts this coach or this coach’ – for me this is not a problem, but it can create problems with the players because the players believe we could [drift] apart.

“I have another year on my contract, so in this moment my focus is total, to improve my players, to try to improve the team, to try to improve the club. If you understand football, there is a moment you must have great patience, to know that someone is working very well.

“I think last season we did a fantastic job but this job is continuing this season. We are trying to change the average age of our team. I think for a club like Chelsea it is very important to start to do this, if you want to create a new base and face the future with confidence.”

The Federal Government has ordered security agencies to arrest petroleum marketers who deliberately hoard products to create the artificial scarcity currently being experienced.

This is just as oil marketers have been cautioned to desist from hoarding the product or risk being arrested by industry regulators who have been detailed for enforcement.

These disclosures were made by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.

According to its spokesman, Ndu Ughamadu, who signed the statement, the warning followed the uncovering of 144 oil tankers filled with petroleum products in Kano.

“NNPC warns marketers not to hoard products as law enforcement agencies, working with industry regulators, have been detailed to take appropriate measures against any defaulter.

“The Corporation further assures that there are enough petroleum products to keep the nation wet,” Ughamadu said.

He urged motorists and other consumers of petroleum products to resist the temptation to go into panic buying.

According to him, government has intervened in the industrial action embarked upon by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) over labour disputes with NECONDE Energy Services Ltd.

“NNPC wishes to state that relevant government agencies are in consultation with industrial unions to arrive at an amicable resolution of issues over which there are threats of industrial action,” he said.
